hip flexibility

Pelvis range motion

Hip flexibility is the range of motion in the hip joint—how freely the leg can move in various directions relative to the pelvis.

It affects activities from walking to sitting cross-legged to athletic performance.

Dancers need exceptional hip flexibility.

Poor hip flexibility can contribute to lower back pain and limited mobility.

Stretching and targeted exercises improve it.
